Anyone out there know who Sidney Harris is/was? I only
know him as the author of this pricelessly unromantic
quote:
"I love hearing that lonesome wail of the train
whistle as the magnitude of the frequency of the wave
changes due to the Doppler effect." -- Sidney Harris
I don't know if he was being serious and humourless or
tongue-in-cheek. It sounds so like a parody of certain
kinds of Lit Crit - hear the magic, then analyse it
out of existence. I think he might be American but
can't find him anywhere.
